Lazada says that the 11.11 Singles' Day event was a success and they saw record sales, but just how big a sale was it for them?

We ask Christophe this and he revealed that their 1 single day of sales surpassed their 1 year of sales in 2014.

We also question Lazada's pathway to profitability.

We discuss this and the other challenges the company is facing in the fast moving e-commerce game.
